DEEPS OF DEPRA VITY

There is no vicious quality which can
drag its possessor to greater depravity and
guilt than that Of avarice. Avarice is theft
without conscience. 1t is greed devoid Of
mercy. 1t stiles all noble instincts and
leads men to acts which in their wanton
deviltry are almost beyond comprehension
Avarice has led TO murder more often than
any other one cause. In many instances 1t
has resulted in wholesale butchery. 1t has
been the ghoul lowering above the edge Of
the holocaust, feeding upon the suffering of
helplessness. 1t defies the plea of means.
1t is blind to the tear Of its victim. Even
the white face of the dead appeals TO it in
vain.
Yet knowing all this, it is hard TO believe
while knowing it is true, that such an acct
dent as has appalled, the country only few
days ago, the robber and the despoiler was
plying his calling amidst the groans of the
manned, and staining his hands with blood
as he riaed the persons of those for whom
every tenet of humanity demanded the ten
derest care. Rings torn from rigid fingers,
jewels snatched from the bosoms that had
just lost the motion of life, and still retained
Its warmth. Could anything be more afro
cious or quicker bring blush at the thought
than those guilty were in human form, If
diabolical in actlonp
1t is believed by some that the great train,
with its burden Of gayety and life, was de-
liberately wrecked, that avarice might reap
profit from the harvest Of carnage Per-
haps this theory is wrong, but it is not H.
logical. He who would rob the dead is
only restrained from murder by fear.
The railroad accident is only one Of many
examples. We remember to have read
few years ago an account OF a cyclone which
swept over little town In Iowa, leaving
CHASTITY trail Then there poured into the
stricken place, not those who came TO help,
but those who came for rapine. Strange
faces leered into the temporary morgue, and
strange hands violated the bodies of the
dead.
1t is sad, but true, that great calamity
attracts human vultures, as carcass at
tracts the foul bird of prey.

ANOTHER WARNING.

The history of Ives AIDES itself to the his.
tory of Harper and that of several other
men, young and old. The monument of
warning TO common people is colossal
enough To keep them away from such Ma
poleons OF finance. Average men with
money to invest ought TO have learned that
TO trust such fellows is TO lose.
The United States is full of profitable In.
vestments which depend on certain values
When legitimate Investments pay well 1t is
the weakness of ignorance or idiocy which
throws money into the hands of adventur-
ers. A few dollars expended on trip west
would open the eyes Of many a man who
has lost by the Iveses to large gains where
the risks are nothing. An American who
drops his money on confidence game when
he could double 1t simply by banking on
his country's development is not wise man
and does not show that faith which ought
to be universal American trait.
Ii is fact that the outsiders who have
made money in Wall street or in any other
speculative centre controlled by brokers
have been fer two or three years less mum.
erous than the outsiders who have bet
against the rings in horse races, and the
world knows how scarce they are While
the investors in lands, abroad and at home,
and in building enterprises, have been max
ing money steadily, the moths attracted by
the stock and provision brokers have had
their wings siEged nine times out of ten
The brokers make money for themselves,
but not often for their customers. When
they have points they know TO be good they
work the hour for all 1t contains. When
they have the usual manufactured tips they
put customers en- and keep calling for mar
gins until the pile is all In. That has been
the rule for long time past.
The old story has 10 be repeated every
time one Of these Napoleons goes down
with lot Of money laid away for himself
and small and small army Of victims ia
distress.
Invest your money in solid property and
trust to the country to realize for you.

The Maryland Republican State Conven-
ton was held in Baltimore on Wednesday
last TO nominate State ticket. Walter b.
Brooks, of Baltimore, was nominated for
Governor; Rob't B. Dixon, of Talbot coun-
ty, for Comptroller, and Francis Miller, of
Montgomery county for Attorney General.
The convention was largely attended by
the regular members of the party and some
Reformers. Speeches were made by Messrs.
McComas, Hodson, Wellington, John K.
Cowen and w. L. Marbury. The latter two
are Reformers. The platform includes all
the political grievances in the State and
is shrewdly contrived to encourage all who
are dissatisfied with the management of the
Democratic party of the State.

The growing virtue OF the French in tho
matter Of tobacco smoking bids fair To- create
vet another difficulty in the aruo,i> task OF
balancing the budget of the republic. 1t ap-
pears that the tax on this pleasant vice pro-
,iu,,d last year S,OWo,uDO francs less than in
the year 1881. The theory has been preached
that Us men get on in life they s,nok" less, for
tho reason that they gradually become so
saturated with nicotine that they cannot hold,
any more. This would not however, explain
the dininution, seeing that the place OF old
men is taken up by the rising generation.
50 the theory is pushed still further, and it is
argued that, rs the process of absorption OF
nicotine goes ON from generation to genera
ton, the sons of smokers are not able to con-
sumo so much tobacco " the children of non
smokers. Oddly enough, the dimnuIion OF
consumption is only in smoking tobacco,
while rs much snuff is sold us formerly. Tho
enormous sum OF SO,U0O, 900 francs is annually
spent in snuff. Where the snuff takcr, live
is an enigma In Paris, at allcvents, the habit,
if one may Judge from ones own experience,
is unknown London Telegraph.
